“America has the great advantage of being a place where the most talented, ambitious, and entrepreneurial people want to live.  So we can have more workers, more growth, and more people to pay taxes if we maintain current—or higher—levels of immigration.” https://t.co/vJ8tb277Ck — PolitiTweet.org

“The term ‘centrist insurgency’ may sound oxymoronic: centrists, moderates, and institutionalists are far from being insurgents by nature. But today the real insurgents in our politics are in the middle.” https://t.co/FHLuxy1lN0 — PolitiTweet.org

“There’s a flip side to rising polarization: in today’s electoral environment, volatility among the small but still substantial population of depolarized voters in the middle becomes increasingly vital in deciding the outcomes of close elections.” https://t.co/FHLuxy1lN0 — PolitiTweet.org

“The race between Calvert and insurrectionist-prosecuting former Schwarzenneger aide Rollins is at the front lines in the battle for democracy. It also demonstrates how focusing on voters not polarization on the extremes, can fuel a ‘centrist insurgency’.” https://t.co/FHLuxy1lN0 — PolitiTweet.org

It’s impressive how much Speaker Pelosi and Chairman Thompson have overridden the usual imperatives of party politics, congressional egos, and the like, to give Republicans and conservatives center stage at the hearings. It’s almost as if they’re willing to put country first! — PolitiTweet.org

MAGA world: “It’s a witch hunt!” Respectable-conservatives-desperate-for-a-place-in-the-new-MAGA-establishment: “Jan. 6 was unfortunate, but sadly the Committee is too partisan and left-wing.” The Committee: Meet Liz Cheney, Ben Ginsberg, Mike Luttig, Trump’s DOJ, etc., etc. — PolitiTweet.org

"Cheney’s Republican colleagues have struggled to understand her motives, especially given the political price..." This is far too generous to other Republicans. They haven't "struggled to understand her." They understand: She's brave. They're not. https://t.co/g3E9rfXiUw — PolitiTweet.org

“The ultimate consequence of spreading BS far and wide is a gradually rising tide of chaos—epistemic, moral, and political. Hannah Arendt rightly saw it as preparing the way for totalitarianism in general and fascism in particular.” https://t.co/JuotAbIEAb — PolitiTweet.org

"For several hours on that fateful day, Trump ceased to be the American president. He was an insurrectionary leader watching his work unfold in coordinated violence...The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff noted Trump’s absence in the chain of command." https://t.co/uuPJFmFifR — PolitiTweet.org

"Mr. Helsley was seen as the deciding vote to bring Stonewall Jackson back. But once a hero to the people he calls 'the right wingers,' he became a target when his current intentions were made clear. 'Nothing good will come of putting it back. Empathy!'" https://t.co/XAdH6GeaCl — PolitiTweet.org

Hey there, MAGA world true believers and Conservatism Inc. fellow travelers: You don't like the January 6th committee for some reason. Well, we're all eager to hear you point out any factual errors in Liz Cheney's presentation. Any at all? 🦗🦗🦗 Cheney. Told. The. Truth. — PolitiTweet.org

"Abusers of power cultivate cynicism. Trump’s defenders do not want Americans to grapple with the facts. They want people to believe that there are no truths at all, just selfish interests." https://t.co/GZl75QPP9w — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

If it were clear the January 6th hearings will make no difference would MAGA world be so worked up about them? Would Republicans be sniping and Conservatism Inc. be whining? Are they worried most voters are pro-democracy and anti-usurpation, pro-rule of law and anti-insurrection? — PolitiTweet.org

"The anti-anti-Trump right [is] the GOP's power center. They...want him to go away while leaving in place the coalition he built. The role of the anti-anti-Trump right is to give Trump supporters a rationale without a direct defense of his actions." https://t.co/gQmPWP0CbR — PolitiTweet.org

"This fatalism passed as cleverness, even as wisdom. This fatalism also functioned as an excuse...The fatalism was always wrong. The important thing to remember about Donald Trump’s presidency is that he was beaten again, and again, and again" https://t.co/VtgJXvNBUC — PolitiTweet.org

“The Republican party chose the path they are on now. They chose to support Trump’s coup and then oppose the consequences with their votes…To the extent that these hearings are political, it is only because the Republican party made them so.” https://t.co/4mt8zGp7lV — PolitiTweet.org

“The story of Jan. 6th is the story of the Trump years and is also the story of modern America. We have created a system in which some people—and only some people—are habitually and repeatedly insulated from the immediate consequences of their actions.” https://t.co/hS4jQ4X43k — PolitiTweet.org
